Bobcat ROAR

Here's to a new decade bringing clarity and intentional focus on our collaborative work through Professional Learning Communities (PLC). All certified faculty members will meet for our one hour January Faculty meeting in the library beginning at 8:30 AM, Monday, January 6, 2020. We will focus on our PLC work in our grade level teams. The specialists will work together. Look for the signs on the tables.

Paraprofessional staff will return to their contract Tuesday, January 7th along with our students.

Mr. McCruel will open the building at 6:30 AM for our early birds. The building will close at 5:00 PM.

Although Monday is a "Records Day," it is also a prime time to plan for a successful student return to the classroom. Here are a few suggestions to consider after your grades have been completed.

1. Tidy up the classroom and clear the clutter

2. Ensure students that you are glad to see them and looking forward to engaging in rigorous and relevant learning

3.Plan to revisit ROAR expectations, classroom rituals and routines with students throughout the day

4. Allow time for students to share through writing as well as oral expressions regarding their break. They will love for you to share your experiences as well. :-)

5. Plan to engage in math and literacy lessons each school day this week.

Remember, we are only a little over a week and a half away before the next break. Give your best effort. Our students deserve our best. For more tips, check the link below for additional "Survival Tips" for the first day back after break.
